Question

PART 1 CHEMOSYNTHESIS vs. PHOTOSYNTHESIS Below is the chemical reacrion theat occurs during chemesynthesis. Remember that this reaction is happening in the deep, dark ocean near the intense heat of hydrothermal vemts Chemosynthesis heat 6 CO2 6 H20+ 3 H2S CH12063 H2SO4 carbon dioxide sulfuric acld water hydrogen sulfide glucose 1. What are the REACTANTS in chemosynthesis? 2. What are the PRODUCTS of chemosynthesis? 3. What form of ENERGY is used for chemosythesis? Below is the chemical reaction that occurs during photosynthesis. Remember that this reaction requires sunlight Photosynthesis light 6CO2 + 6H2O CsH1:06 + 602 water glucose carbon dioxide oxygen 4. What are the REACTANTS in photosynthesis? 5. What are the PRODUCTS of photosynthesis? 6. What form of ENERGY is used for photosynthesis?

Explanation / Answer

1. The reactants are carbon dioxide, water and hydrogen sulfide, as they combine to give the products.

2. The products are glucose, sulfuric acid.

3. The type of energy used here is heat.

4. The reactants here are carbon dioxide and water.

5. The prodcuts are glucose and oxygen.

6. Light is used here to carry forward the reaction. The primary role of light is to split the water molecule to obtain hydrogen for the reaction.
